Georgia
Whatever it is you’re looking for, you’ll probably find it on assignment in Georgia. Majestic mountains that harbor magic and mystery in their coves and forests; rivers and lakes that promise good fun and good sport; small towns and big cities that are hospitable hosts to friends and strangers alike. You’ll find urban nightlife that never stops and quiet front porches where your conversation will compete only with the crickets. You’ll find natural wonders and works of art. You’ll see Indian relics 5,000 years old and handicrafts whose paint has yet to dry. You’ll make new friends, have new adventures, and take away memories that will last a lifetime.

Gateway to the Blue Ridge and Appalachians
In Georgia’s mountains you’ll find dramatic vistas, wild whitewater, and unspoiled forests. You’ll also find spectacular shopping in brand-name outlets and quaint boutiques. Cool in the summer, mild in the winter, it’s the perfect place to work in or escape to.
ATLANTA METRO AREA
Southern Charm and Capital of the New South
From a virtually uninhabited railroad terminus in 1837 to a sprawling metropolis of over four million people today, metro Atlanta has the vibrancy of the world’s great urban centers combined with the Southern charm of small town centers such as Roswell and Decatur. Here you’ll find historic sites from the Civil War through the Civil Rights era, as well as world-class shopping, entertainment, and nightlife.
HISTORIC SOUTHERN GEORGIA
Music Legends, Year-Round Golf & Historic Sites
Stretching from the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the north to the edge of the Okefenokee in the south, and from the wiregrass country in the west to the white sands on the edge of the coastal plain, this is the heart of Georgia. A sweet onion known around the globe, artists and performers who became legends, and inventions that changed the world are what you can expect from the land of the Historic South.
SOUTHERN RIVERS AREA
Farming, Folklife & Folklore
Get off the highway and into the countryside, where the land spreads out and the roads roll into small towns, each of which offers its own unique charms and intriguing history. You’ll discover an outdoor paradise, where the lakes teem with fish, the woodlands are alive with wildlife and the rivers flow steadily across the landscape – giving the region its name.
COAST
Barrier Islands, Cobblestone Streets and Catch of the Day
Here you’ll find Savannah and its historic district, dotted with parks and lined with moss-covered trees, which have been seen on television and in movies for years. St. Simons Island, Sea Island, and Jekyll Island are home to world-class golf and world-class resorts. Unlike most of the east coast, in Georgia you’ll find miles upon miles of protected seashore and deserted barrier islands perfect for exploring.
